[Epileptic seizures after recovery from an epilepsy with rolandic paroxysms (author's transl)].
154 subjects over 13 years of age were examined who had suffered from RPE (epilepsy with rolandic paroxysmal foci) in infancy (87 subjects were 20 years old). Seizures had reappeared 5 times, four of them being apparently, primary generalized motor seizures. Treatment was not resumed in 3 cases which had not had another seizure for 11, 13 and 2 years, respectively. All patients have shown a good social adaptation. Repetition of seizures seems very rare and only in predisposed subjects. The highly favourable prognosis for RPE is not disputed.
